Pseudoaneurysm of the breast: case study and review of literature

¹ Division of Radiography, University of Bradford, Bradford BD5 0BB and ² Blackburn Royal Infirmary, Bolton Road, Blackburn BB2 3LR, UK

This paper describes the B-mode, colour and spectral Doppler appearances of breast pseudoaneurysm — a rare vascular complication of ultrasound-guided needle core biopsy. Previously reported cases of spontaneous and iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the breast are reviewed. The significance of this potentially serious complication is discussed with reference to the increasing use of imaging and image guided techniques in the diagnosis of breast disease.
